Pouch rat in English language


Not so big anyway.

I remember how I used to hunt for this rabbit way back. As soon as my dad leaves for work the entire bushes in my neighborhood becomes mine.

All the scars on my leg were gotten from that adventure

This is rabbit and not rat. What Oyinbo call rabbit is not found in our environment, so what do we now call rabbit.

We can't use Oyinbo definition of their rabbit as our own rabbit. The white tip tail rodent is our rabbit. Shikena!

We have rabbits in Delta which oyimbo rabbit do u mean cos I can only see rat or mouse

This is rat not rabbit. Una go school at all?.
BTW, OP get mind ooo, Me no fit ear that.

ojkalito:
we smoke them out from their hole during the day and I know guys who drags them out with bare hands. In Delta we don't consider it a bad omen but they hardly come out in day time like you rightly said. I just enjoy enjoy the hunt but never ate the meat

the hunt was always fun till we smoked the wrong hole wey one big snake dey chill inside.

toms55:
I shouldn't be arguing with someone who can't state correctly which animal is a rat and which one is a rabbit that's a stain on my status. Keep dwelling in your ignorance. Afaanu

Says a blank mind with an empty skull. Who eats all kind of reptiles..

Less than 100yrs ago one man woke up and claim rabbits are not rodent and as a mugu you agreed... 100yrs later someone else will discover another features that's makes rabbit a rodent and idi.ots like you will accept.

If you call a rat a rabbit then what do you call a rabbit? Plus Who said a real rabbit isn't found in our environment?

White tail or not that's an ordinary house rat as far as I'm concerned that's not even a grasscutter. Wouldn't eat it.

Yoruba people ooo

Pls this is a total rat it's called Oke in Igbo.
A confirmed rodent. Many illiterates on Nairaland calling it rabbit.
So your people take rats as pet

For 9ja na rabbit we dey call am.

Oyinbo nor fit dey name everything for us.

We call it Ofen'tor in Benin.

Na so them name one rodent guinea pig.

Call small scotland and wales wey nor reach 5 million each nation but call yoruba and igbo of 50 million each tribe.

Discover our own river call am river negro(niger),river wey we take dey bath and drink from many centuries ago.

See our own rabbit and call am pouch rat.


@op na rabbit you chop so, correct bush meat with a distinctive white tip tail.

Confirm Bini Babe, it's called "Afio'tor" in URHOBO, quite similar to Ofen'tor as being called in Bini, no doubt the Urhobo language still remains a branch of the Bini language.

This is rabbit, one way to distinguish between rabbit and rat is the tail, our local rabbit usually have a white tail. Ate enough of this that year.

tartarus:
Is it that most people on nairaland aren't enlightened?!. Wtf this is a RAT, a big unhygienic, city RAT! This is not a rabbit or a hare!! Use Google
What kind of ignorance is this?!

You're correct, it is a rat known as African pouched rat. Most Nigerians erroneously call it rabbit. I guess it is so called because it is different from the usual dirty city rat as this one is normally found in the bushes and hence declared good enough for consumption. It is usually very big and has a distinct white tip tail.

hehehehe

Ralph2211:
Dis is what we called Bush rat. D tail is always white at d tail end.

Who told you that rabbits are not found in our environment?
Come to our pharmacology lab and see rabbits!
Even in the forests, you can still see them.

Meanwhile, rabbits are those with long ears that flip backwards or upwards with longer legs(than rats) that can run at the speed of light, not giant rats like many people erroneously believe.
